At the beginning of the week Iwasn’t sure I was even going toparticipate in this one, as I hadnever operated on 160m. But after astellar performance by the Admiral theweek before in ARRL CW, which wascertainly motivational, I decided togive it a try. I got a late start dueto a blinding snow storm and had towalk 1/2 mile, as my car couldn’tmake it up the hill to get to theWW1WW shack .The station workedflawlessly. Woody’s last minuteinstallation of a beverage for thenortheast, lying on top of 3ft of snowreally paid off as I worked EU’s atthe top of the band 1.960 one afterthe other for quite some time. TheWW1WW station is at a very noise freelocation and was easy to pull out theweak ones. I am very thankful andappreciative to Woody to have thechance to operate. Thanks to all thestations I worked, see you all in thenext one! 73 Fred KK1KW
